Another exciting day in the great outdoors . Got to my blind at 6:30 . Kept everything closed up . Legal time was 7:12 . Heard the 1st few shots at 6:50 . Got out of the blind at 10:30 after seeing absolutely nothing even though I had heard several shots in various directions . Walked down to the field with the thick stuff . Swapped cards in a trail cam . Replaced a Posted Sign that someone moved . Worked my way through the thick crap and found a spot with potential for a Bow Stand for next season . Needs a bit of clearing for shooting lanes . Got into the woods --- real wet as the land doesn't drain . Checked out my old permanent stand and the ladder rungs need to be replaced to be safe . Grabbed an old lawn chair and headed back . My arm was bothering me so I slung the shotgun over my shoulder When I got up near the old pond I heard a noise . One doe hauled butt up the lane way and another crashed through the pond . No shot . Sat in a stand near the pond for an hour and saw nothing . Well , back to the blind . Stayed there until 3:30 . During that time I saw a doe come across the field and hung around for about 15 minutes 300 yards away . After she was out of sight a small buck did the same thing . Heard more shooting and saw a buck and 2 doe running down the middle of an adjacent field . Later I saw 1 more doe travel across the field I was in . The shooters had the deer moving today . 9 hours in the great outdoors and I had finally had enough ...... Did I forget to say it was cold and windy with some snow flurries .......... Caught a couple of white-outs on the way home .

Heading out for Geneseo in a few minutes . Don't know how long I will last in this cold weather . Looked at the temps vs Real Feel temps . Ughhhhhhh ! Fairly strong Westerly wind . Makes me cold to think about it . Hope ther will be some hunters out there moving the deer . Looks like the same type of weather for the next few days ........ cold and windy . Where the hell is that Global Warming ?

This is how it works .............. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=-LIpAxjPt9U

Glad someone has been seeing them and cashing in .........

Bubba , do you still use the Electro-Shock Therapy on your clients ? ...

You don't want to do that . When a rifle is fired , the barrel vibrates ( barrel harmonics ) . Resting the barrel rather than the forearm will affect the shot ..........

Glad that you finally posted a close up picture of yourself up above . I assume that's what it is .......... If you don't like the laws , work to change them !

If you think the laws are silly and don't agree with them , work to get them changed rather than think they are stupid and should be broken ...........

I bet I would ........

The homeless folks that live under the bridge probably had a real good meal !

Deer are curious animals . I wonder if the smoke might draw them in ..... hmmmmmm

Crow Facts Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts. However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car. MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills. He very quickly concluded the cause: When crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Truck."

No --- the wind was 5-6 mph and coming from a southerly direction . I was on the north side of the gully pasture . Oh yeah , the guy I do signs for was on Vine Valley Road near Middlesex . He said he had to stop his truck and wait for 10 doe to cross the roar just up from the trailer park . The deer know where they are safe !

I heard a total of 5 shots between 7 am and noon and the 2 shots around 3:30 pm . Not much activity . I may wait until Saturday to go back out with the hope that some hunters might be out there moving deer .

Wow ! Buck of a lifetime ....

It was 29 degrees here in Ontario when I headed out at 5 am . When I got off at the Livonia exit ( #9 ) it was 24 degrees . When I got to my SILs home on Lima road , it was 19 degrees . I had a double pair of socks on and it didn't take long for my feet to get cold in the chair blind that I had tucked back into some thick stuff . Stayed there from 6:10 am to 11 am . Checked out the gully lot and went to my vehicle . Removed a couple of Real Estate signs in the village of Geneseo , got something to eat and went back to the property . Watched the GVHC riding across the property way out with the hounds on the trail of a fox . Saw a doe hauling butt across an open field that the fox hunters kicked out . Went back to the blind and stayed there until 5 pm . Another dismal day . The clock is ticking !

That's why the toilet seat should be left up when not in use !

Stanley died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they sent for his two best deer hunting friends, Cooter and Gomer. The three men had always hunted and fished together and were long time members of a hunting camp. Cooter arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the sheet, Cooter said, Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad. You better roll him over. The mortician rolled him over and Cooter said, Nope, ain't Stanley . The mortician thought this was rather strange, So he brought Gomer in to confirm the identity of the body. Gomer looked at the body and said, Yup, he's pretty well burnt up. Roll him over. The mortician rolled him over and Gomer said, No, it ain't Stanley. The mortician asked, How can you tell? Gomer said, Well, Stanley had two ass-holes. What! He had two ass-holes? asked the mortician. Yup, we never seen 'em, but everybody used to say, There's Stanley with them two ass-holes. Cooter and Gomer are both now employed in the Obama administration. One in the Cinncinatti IRS office and the other in the Justice Department.

Yeah , a few have the attitude that , " if you don't do it my way , you're doing it wrong" ! I choose to butcher my own deer though .

Heading for Geneseo in the am . It's gonna be ccccccccccold !

I'll stick with my Aldi's peanut butter / oatmeal granola bars ........

Looks like a bit of whip lash !

I was out installing signs today and had to use a John . I stopped at McDonalds at the corner of Rt 250 and Rt 31 . Someone was at the urinal so I stepped into the stall and started to lift the seat . Some lazy slob didn't bother and pissed on the seat . What the heck is wrong with people ! What the hell do they do at home ? Total slob !

Yeah , no sense in having laws . Why can't we shoot when ever we want too . And why can't we use spot lights if we want to. Bull Crap !!! If it's not legal to shoot until 7:05 or what ever , then it should be obeyed .

and ........ no one arguing or getting Hostile !
